Chapter 36: Chapter 25 Intrigue within Intrigue Chapter 36: Chapter 25 Intrigue within Intrigue He Bibiqu was battling on one side, his head enveloped in a white mist that vaguely emitted an icy chill.

It seemed that the Ice and Snow Cold Poison lurking within his body was beginning to break free, due to the strain of fighting full-throttle.

He’d narrowly dodged several deadly blows, truly on the precipice of danger at every turn.

Miao Sensen narrowed his eyes, gazing at He Bibiqu’s face, his gaze venomous as a snake as he said in a low, menacing voice, “He Bibiqu, you can no longer suppress your internal injuries, can you? This chill from the poison is unbearable, isn’t it? How much longer can you hold on?”

“I warned you not to push yourself too hard. It looks like you are really going to drop dead here!”

He Bibiqu replied coldly, “If I die for Great Qin, what is it to you?”

“I merely feel pity…”

Miao Sensen let out a hoarse laugh that echoed through the air, “Heavenly Clothes’ Governor of Tiannan District is about to fall here, killed by my hand.”

He Bibiqu responded indifferently, “You set an ambush yourself, all for the sake of my life, why put on the pretense of decency? It’s nauseating!”

“You’re right! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had to come here!”

“I came to take your life.”

“If you were in your prime, I wouldn’t be your match, but you dared to come out despite your severe injuries, so don’t blame me for using some tactics.”

Miao Sensen’s sword thrust back and forth, its light suddenly burst forth, forcing He Bibiqu into a corner, unable to dodge. He clashed full-force with He Bibiqu once again.

He Bibiqu grunted and stumbled backward, a rush of red suddenly flushed his face.

He coughed a few times, saying, “In a battle between two armies, two nations, it’s normal to use cunning tactics. Victory and defeat are not about being noble or despicable, but about winning and losing!”

Miao Sensen kept his hawk-like gaze locked on him, and upon seeing his state, a sense of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, as he shouted, “Everyone, come out! This old man is at the end of his rope. Let’s finish him off together!”

Whizzing noises filled the air as three figures rocketed in from different directions from the dense woods in the distance, forming a triangle.

Swords and blades glittering in their hands.

“He Bibiqu, today is your end!”

Miao Sensen could no longer restrain his excitement. He burst into laughter, arrogantly beaming.

Watching his decades-old adversary about to fall into his hands, Miao Sensen’s joy was beyond words!

Surrounded on all sides with He Bibiqu at the center, coupled with the outbreak of his internal injuries, it seemed death was at his doorstep. The situation was perilous.

Wu Tiejun was fighting desperately below, but he had long been blockaded by the enemy’s high-ranking experts. Even breaking through at the cost of his life would be useless. With his violent rage simmering beneath the surface, he bellowed, “Feiyi Hall, you’re contemptible and shameless! Is this your style, Great Yan Empire? Disgusting!”

“Is this how Yan Empire controls the world with its power? Miao Sensen, if you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one!”

Miao Sensen chose to ignore him. To him, the enemy’s rage was like sweet praise, further enhancing his mood and delight.

“He Bibiqu, where are your Three Tiannan Stars? Why haven’t you called them yet? If they don’t come out soon, they will only be left to collect your corpse, if you even still have one left.”

He Bibiqu responded coldly, “To deal with you, there’s no need for such effort. I alone am enough. If this is all the manpower you have, then it’s you who will die here!”

Miao Sensen let out a hearty laugh, “Still defiant, I see. You’re probably not refusing to call for help, but because those minions of yours aren’t even here, right? He Bibiqu, after all these years, your stubbornness will come to an end today.”

At this moment, Miao Sensen felt a huge sense of satisfaction.

He had exhausted his mind setting up this trap for the past two days.

The moment he learned that the Purple Emperor had left in pursuit of the Demon King, he immediately realized that Great Qin would not let this secret realm pass. He Bibiqu would definitely come.

After all, it was the lair of a Greater Demon worth the Purple Emperor’s personal pursuit.

What lay within was of no small significance.

If He Bibiqu didn’t come, he would be neglecting his duties!

This was perhaps a golden opportunity to get rid of her lifelong enemy, He Bibiqu!

Over the years, Tiannan District, under the leadership of He Bibiqu, had been a nightmare to Yan’s spies.

Consequently, He Bibiqu’s head was naturally the prize Miao Sensen dreamt of claiming.

After confirming this fact, Miao Sensen quickly assessed the situation and realized that the Heavenly Clothes of Tiannan would definitely take action. Therefore, he rushed to the scene first, setting traps and controlling the situation throughout the journey…

All of his moves targeted He Bibiqu’s habits and patterns, causing disturbances and trying to reduce as many enemy forces as possible, diverting He Bibiqu’s top three subordinates from his side.

Moreover, he waited leisurely here, setting up a concentrated fire trap.

He had even called over a part of the Yan Army.

Just to take down He Bibiqu, he hadn’t even had time to seize the treasures within the demon’s den.

With this battle, as long as He Bibiqu died, Great Qin’s Tiannan District, would be like a tiger without claws, easily enclosed within his grasp. Even if the empire doesn’t attack immediately, it would be enough for him to plant countless traps and lay a solid foundation.

Even if Great Qin were to appoint someone else, someone even smarter than He Bibiqu, they would at least not be as familiar with the ins and outs as He Bibiqu.

If such gains were to be made, even if they were to give up all the benefits of taking over the Demon King’s lair, it would still be a worthwhile trade. Moreover, as long as He Bibiqu died, Tiannan District would instantly be left leaderless. His side might still have time to seize the Demon King’s den, making it a win-win situation. Why not take advantage of it?

An opportunity like this, if not seized, would lead to lifelong regret.

Looking even deeper, the path towards Yan’s unification of the whole world might start right here. Although this is merely a small step, who’s to say it’s not the starting point?

What worried Miao Sensen was that although he held the advantage of setting the trap first, after all, the time was short, and the constructed trap might not be perfect. But now, He Bibiqu had followed his plan and stepped into the trap, his internal injuries had burst out and his situation was critically dangerous!

This gave Miao Sensen a genuine surge of surprise and joy in his heart.

If you are courting death yourself, then don’t blame me!

This is a godsend opportunity!

I must kill He Bibiqu!

He had once wondered if it was a trap laid by the opponent, but at this time, even if it was a trap, he was already in a difficult position where he could neither advance nor retreat.

The battlefield leaves no room for hesitation.

One is to worry about the opponent’s prepared counterplan and immediately retreat, and the other is to attack with all strength according to the original plan, regardless of the opponent’s possible deception.

Miao Sensen did not want to retreat.

The battle in the sky became even more intense.

Down below, Ma Qiange was commanding the archers personally as he overseated.

The arrows were shot into the sky like a rainstorm.

The four floating high in the sky were moving with agility in the dense arrow rain, taking the opportunity to launch sudden attacks, wildly bombarding their foes. He Bibiqu, battling alone against four, became more and more precarious, his situation extremely dangerous, entirely forced into a defensive position.

The mist of cold air above his head grew thicker and thicker, and the chill emanating from him became more intense. His complexion also grew worse and worse.

The cruel smile in Miao Sensen’s eyes became more pronounced. In his view, He Bibiqu was already as good as his, the prey in his clutches.

The complexion of He Bibiqu, which hadn’t changed for decades, would turn pale and emit chill as soon as he fought with effort. This was the characteristic of the Ice and Snow Cold Poison!

If He Bibiqu didn’t have the Ice and Snow Cold Poison, he himself would have been chased away, or caught and killed by He Bibiqu long ago.

The four of them stepped up their onslaught, constantly teetering on the edge of life and death.

Finally, with a thud, He Bibiqu was hit in the chest and flew out like a kite with a broken wire.

Miao Sensen’s eyes were fixed on He Bibiqu, and when he saw a trace of red at the corner of He Bibiqu’s mouth, he finally waved his hand and roared, “Gamble wounds for a life, kill him, kill this brute quickly!”

The other three let out a howl, attacking with all their strength, risking their lives.

Miao Sensen narrowed his eyes, and his palm power suddenly erupted, swatting the incoming arrows aside. In the next moment, he flashed and was directly above He Bibiqu.

The next moment, his entire body emitted a glare as piercing as a small sun, making it hard for anyone to face directly.

At this instant, all eyes instinctively avoided Miao Sensen, whose brilliance was as intimidating as the burning sun. The attention of the archers who originally focused on him was also diverted.

As the silver light exploded, Miao Sensen held a sword in his hand, turned into a barrel-like dragon, and fell from the sky, straight towards He Bibiqu!

One sword could shatter the soul, life or death was decided instantly!

With such a sudden killing move emerging, many of the blue shirted crowd down below couldn’t help exclaiming in fright.

The moment has come!

General Hu Wei, Ma Qiange, who was commanding the overall battlefield, bellowed and leaped forward, crossing the air. The long spear in his hand turned into a streak of black light, charging directly towards the battle in the sky!

On the ground, Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu, who seemed to be unable to get away from the enemy’s grip, also roared at the same time, risking their injuries and bleeding, and soared into the sky.

However, at this moment, a loud roar was heard, and the person who roared turned out to be He Bibiqu.

“Well come!”

What He Bibiqu had painstakingly managed was the opportunity at this moment!

A blazing heat suddenly rose above He Bibiqu’s head. The effect of Feng Yin’s treatment for him was all released at this moment, and the long accumulated strength gushed out.

One treatment allowed him to recover a bit, but he only had the strength for one full strike left.

And what He Bibiqu had painstakingly planned out was to use this temporarily obtained strength of one full strike to turn the situation around!

The body that was originally falling back suddenly stopped and abruptly counter-charged in the opposite direction. His speed reached the extreme, and a trail of white smoke was pulled out from behind him.

The long knife suddenly expanded, and the rapid gust of wind rose sharply. The air was cut into a trail of white smoke, and a hot breath rose abruptly!

This move, which came unexpectedly and exceedingly quickly.

A master from the Feiyi Hall, who was chasing too eagerly, had now arrived behind He Bibiqu. When He Bibiqu suddenly made a counter charge, the two of them were face to face, almost touching, confronting He Bibiqu.

He could even see the eyebrows of He Bibiqu.

He couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

The knife light was dazzling as snow, as if it could split the sky and the earth, and fell like lightning.

“Those who offend Great Qin, behead!”

He Bibiqu, with his beard fluttering, roared loudly.

The sound was like a thunderclap, shaking the heavens and the earth.
